I can confirm this, I have not been able to find a fullproof way of reproducing it. But if the filters aren't run automagicly and i have a list of mails to be filtered, pressing ctrl+j a lot of times will often(if not all the time) cause this crash.
Sorry, I can't reproduce this with 3.5 branch. It's either fixed or there is something about your filters, that I can't read out of your backtrace without debug info
It's not fixed yet. Please see http://lists.kde.org/?t=117240737300001&r=1&w=2
You claim that - and I claim mStorage being 0 is fixed. So please try the 3.5 (or pim+) branch before you reopen

If you can reproduce it that well (because I can't and two others in IRC can't either - that could before) - can you do me a favor and reproduce it with /branches/work/kmail_debug_imap and send me (without CCing bugs) the log file kmail generated? Because mStorage _has_ to be != 0 here. Many thanks. Greetings, Stephan
*** Bug 143268 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
It's a misunderstandig, Stephan. You're right, mStorage != 0 for sure. However the find() method fails. It's discussed in the mailinmg list thread I've mentioned. Ingo has described some solutions. The quickest but ugliest has been tested. There is a patch ready for that, however Ingo wanted to take a better route. So please let's keep this report open even if mStorage != 0, okay?

Andreas, Stephan: Is this problem limited to IMAP? I am asking because some of the duplicates do not use IMAP at all, but have the same backtrace as in comment #5.

Perhaps the original problem of mStorage being not defined may have been on IMAP only. Currently using Ctrl-A + Ctrl-J for all messages in a folder gives a crash for local, dIMAP and IMAP accounts if one message in the folder was selected before pressing Ctrl-A.

I'm getting this crash on use of ctrl-j too. I've tested and if I ctrl-a then ctrl-j in a folder it crashes (sorry no useful bt). If instead I ctrl-a and then deselect a single mail item in the folder then ctrl-j it runs without a crash. The particular mail item that is deselected is unimportant. This method (of avoiding the crash) works for folders with c.150 mails in but I haven't tested for larger numbers. The crash occurs if you use "Apply all filters" from the Message menu too.
oops, should have said, this is for local filtering, not IMAP
Why did you remove everyone from the CC list? Was that by accident or on purpose for some reason?

Raising severity because of some claims of data loss, for example in duplicate bug 140660.

reproduced in kde 3.5.6, kmail v 1.96, using maildir directories, GNU/Linux distro Kubuntu Feisty Fawn. Actually, it takes a couple of iterations for me to reproduce this, but eventually if I Ctrl-A + ctrl-J enough times, kmail will crash with sigsev 11. I can also produce this behavior if I use the Search function, but it's not as consistent.
Running: KMail 1.9.7, KDE 3.5.7 on Debian unstable (SID), kernel 2.6.22 I don't get crashes anymore with normal usage. I've tested running Ctrl-a + Ctrl-j a few times on a couple of folders and it doesn't crash. Is anyone else able to reproduce this with KMail 1.9.7? And how?
I am running KMail 1.9.7 and KDE 3.5.7 and on some Ctrl-a + Ctrl-j it will crash (usuall the second time I try it) and whats worse is it seems to corrupt whatever message it was moving at the time leaving it in in the source folder with "no subject" and an empty body and leaving it in the destination folder corrupted. Anyway I just wanted to confirm that the bug is still out there.

A potential fix for this has been commited to trunk and to the enterprise branch, see SVN commits 703875 and 703867. We don't know if it really fixes the problem yet.
Thanks! I'll be patient. On 23 Aug 2007 15:27:27 -0000, Thomas McGuire <Thomas.McGuire@gmx.net> wrote: [bugs.kde.org quoted mail]
Disabling the pipe through "spamassassin -L" makes the problem go away for me. I just uncheck "Apply this filter to incoming messages" in the "Advanced" tab of the "Filter Rules".
Forget that about spamassassin. It seemed to act nicely for a while. But, it is back to its old tricks. Sorry, I should have given it more time.
I wouldn't care so much about this bug if it wasn't for the fact that automatic filtering fails after the first one or two messages. That leaves me having to process nearly all incoming mail manually. That is a royal pain.
Has anyone taken r703875 and r703867 for a spin?

Created attachment 21774 [details] backtrace here's a backtrace from current 3.5.7 from debian testing. This is from mail from pop3. I can confirm this crash with debian testing and fedora 7. I'll try to build from svn tomorrow to see if I can reproduce. Steps to reproduce: Open kmail for 1st time. Confirm pop3 details, etc. Fetch mail to inbox. Right click on a mail and define a filter on mailing list, to move to another folder. Ctrl-A, Ctrl-J crashes kmail. Very easy for me to reproduce this.
Still reproducible with latest kde 3.5 branch svn of kdepim as of 9-Oct-07. 723195 Is there any other relevant information or tests I can run to help fix this!
we are simply swamped trying to get something halfway usable for KDE 4.0. unfortunately, KDE 3.5.8 was tagged yesterday so any fix will have to wait for KDE 3.5.9 or above.

This issue goes away for me when I downgrade kdepim (kmail) to 1.9.4.

I can confirm that the bug is fixed in KMail 1.9.9.
*** Bug has been marked as fixed ***.
I'm using KMail 1.9.9 and this still happens with me. I create a new filter and selected all messages in inbox. Then I applied all filters and KMail (in KOntact) crashed. I killed it and reopened it: I had my messages duplicated and triplicated, some of them with unkown subject and sender. Then I removed duplicated messages and all of my inbox messages went unkown and empty. I tried to replicate the select all messages aplly filter and kontact crashes every time. Paula
I've backed off to 1.9.4, which is the last one that I know works properly. 1.9.7 is a real mess with filtering. With 1.9.9 as messy as all that, I'll stay with 1.9.4 (KDE 3.5.4). Gary On Tue 13 May 2008 5:57 am, paula simoes wrote: [bugs.kde.org quoted mail]
Hi Paula, if that happens I suggest to stop KMail, remove the KMail index files for the affected folder and start KMail again so that KMail rebuilds the index. If it happened in your inbox for example delete the following index files martin@shambala:~Mail> ls -la | grep inbox drwx------ 5 martin martin 36 2008-05-13 22:47 inbox -rw------- 1 martin martin 539855 2008-05-13 22:47 .inbox.index -rw-r--r-- 1 martin martin 4389 2008-05-13 22:47 .inbox.index.ids -rw-r--r-- 1 martin martin 54499 2008-05-13 10:21 .inbox.index.sorted by using rm ~/Mail/.inbox.index* for example. Be careful not to delete the wrong file and better make a backup of ~/Mail before. No warranty whatsoever ;-). Its not nice but thats my usual procedure when empty no subject mails appear or a mail turns out not to be deleteable. I read that recent KMail got a context menu entry for recreating the index file, but I am not sure whether it will make it to a KDE 3.5.10 if such a version is tagged at all. I had empty no subject mails in KMail from KDE 3.5.9 but they might have happened with an earlier version. I had non deleteable mail in my spam folder I think at least twice, but no time to make a bugreport back then. Didn't happen anymore since then. I hope that on switching to akonadi all those still existing index related problems are gone for good.

Thanks a lot, that worked to have my messages back. I think I will try to move to a older kontact. I really need filters, but I am not willing to move to other email client, since I do not know any so good as kontact suite.

For those whom have not updated and experience the horror of the undeletable email eating up there inbox Additional Comment #59 From Thomas McGuire fixes the problem. Thank you this thomas this restored my inbox from this horrible sort crash then corrupt. I am still running 1.9.7. On Gentoo the path was not obvious from your home directory the path to kmail inbox is: ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail and I can confirm that this did work and is safe for corrupted inboxes.
In Comment #59 Thomas marks a bug as duplicate of this bug. I think you refer to comment #58. Maildir location also depends on account type: - POP3 / local mails: ~/Mail (well on Gentoo ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail) - IMAP: ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap - DIMAP: ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/dimap BTW I think index related bugs have not yet been fixed. With KMail 3.5.9 I sometimes have it that it displays a mail as empty or does not complete a delete operation - the line with the mail in the mail list is printed with strike-through style and then nothing happens. I am able to fix up these by quitting Kontact / KMail, deleting the index file and restarting it. Maybe thats a different bug tough. I find it quite difficult to provide a pattern that triggers the bug.
